The state government says it will not offer any more money to Wyong Council for work at the Sparks Road intersection in Warnervale.
The RTA’s favoured plan for a dual carriageway between Minnesota and Virginia Roads would cost around $12-million – almost double council’s estimated cost.
However, no government funding will be provided, with documents showing a private partnership should be sought.
Mayor Doug Eaton says without the intersection, the project can’t go ahead.
